Wasn't the "dunkirke" thing a (glorious?) exit and not an entry? Normandy could be the place to think.

For a pedant you don't half blunder on into irrelevancy! The "European Union" wasn't a public issue in his time, and he was clearly referring to the EEC. Thanks for the "research" anyway, as I'd always assumed that (like naive young me) he would have taken what he was told at face value, and voted for EEC membership. In fact the reason I raised the matter was simply his sage advice "That is no way to go into a negotiation. You ought to go into a negotiation on the basis that they have need of you, not just you of them." Pretty relevant to Mrs May & Co. right now I would have thought, and hopefully obvious to other readers. And... that's the fullness of it - no essay required! P.S. I sort of cringe to say it - unpedantic as is my nature - but I've always assumed the old BUDC was spot on when named Attlee Park!

Anybody any objections to me gathering up the end of term class photos, with & without names, that have been posted on various Bedlington sites (many by Foxy ) and storing them all together in the Gallery along with the other albums in the 'Historic Bedlington' category?

LOl probably to do with the settings on iPhone camera. I just poain’t and click and they work on Facebook! At least he’s the right way up!!

Got there first time, this time around! And... dead with him any shred of patriotism or basic integrity in the British Labour Party! Corbyn Labour wouldn't even risk a spokesperson's exposure to the Brussels Broadcasting Corporation at lunchtime. So zero hope our local Einstein will attempt to explain their position on the EU to the little people. It would doubtless be a painfully protracted form of "Four legs good, two legs bad." - so maybe a small mercy?

I have a dog and it barks itself -- even when I don't want it to - i'm thinking there are too many mad dogs in the world already. Them jihadists are safe when asleep so tread lightly and don't wake them. oh and 13 yrs wi a certain regiment and then many yrs doing other things might help with my survival. funny how I have not felt threatened even after all the dire warnings on here and in the populist press. I recall a chant of 'up the hammas' but I think that was possibly one of them football things??
